<yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum> "What does the D in D-Day stand for," I asked naievely. Well, so far, I have received 5 answers -- all different. I've heard Day, Decision, Debarking and Dooms. But, Dean Stanton at Fortune in Redwood replied that he was first annoyed that I would ask someting so obvious. After all, he'd known since childhood that the D stands for Designated. He went on to site the dictionary and page. (He says the dictionary also includes [D (for day) + Day; cf. H-HOUR]. Thank you one and all. Lisa ~ lizard@nbires
